Chapter 14, Problem 23ALQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The empirical formula of a given MxAy type molecule must be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Empirical formula consists of simplest ratio of atoms present in the compound. It does not give the exact number of atoms of element present in it.

The name carbohydrate comes from the fact that many simple sugars have chemical formulae that look like water has simply been added to carbon. (The suffix hydrate from the Greek word hydor ("water") means "compound formed by the addition of water.") The actual chemical structure of carbohydrates doesn't look anything like water molecules bonded to carbon atoms (see sketch at right). But it is nevertheless possible to chemically extract all the hydrogen and oxygen from many simple carbohydrates as water, leaving only carbon behind. If you search the Internet for "reaction of sulfuric acid and sugar" you will find some impressive videos of this. Suppose you had  300.g  of ordinary table sugar, which chemists call sucrose, and which has the chemical formula  C12H22O11 . Calculate the maximum mass of water you could theoretically extract. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.
Adding table salt to water elevates its boiling temperature and speeds up the cooking process (although to what extent depends on how much the boiling point is increased). If one tablespoon of table salt (17 g, 0.291 mol) is added to 2 L of water (Kb = 0.512 °C m-1), what is the boiling point elevation of that water?
Use the Born-Mayer equation to estimate the latticeenthalpy of calcium sulfide. CaS. The crystal adopts a rocksalt structure w ith the distance between the centres of nearest neighbours being 284 pm.
